Gerrard Set to Hang his Boots

Former England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has admitted he may retire from football next year.”It could be my last season as a footballer. I certainly don’t want to feel like I’m feeling right now come next year,” The 35-year-old said on Galaxy’s website.

Gerrard, who joined the LA Galaxy lat summer, admitted the experience of playing in the US was a learning curve. “Going on the road, playing on turf, playing at altitude, playing in humidity, those are the hurdles that I’ve had to face over the last three months that I wasn’t aware of.”

“Every away game has a different challenge,” added the veteran midfielder. “At home, we’ve got no problems because we’re very strong and we play well. We’ll always win more than we lose.”
